What Does It Feel Like?

If you've never had an acupuncture treatment before, you may be wondering if the insertion of needles is painful. The needles used in acupuncture are small and ultra-thin. They're nothing like large hypodermic needles used in injections or vaccinations. When the tiny needles are inserted at specific energy points on your body, most people feel a minor prick at most, similar to a mosquito bite. Acupuncture isn't painful.

What Clients Are Saying About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

The Inner Wellness Naturopathic Doctors offer a FREE 10 minute ‘meet and greet’ appointments to determine whether this service is appropriate for your individual needs.

Acupuncture has been developed over 2500 years and looks at the entire body to determine where a person’s symptoms are coming from. It has been proven that acupoints are strong nervous system centers, and when a needle is inserted, the nervous system is encouraged to heal itself. Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very thin sterile needles into specific acu-points around the body. This is believed to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. The needles are left in anywhere from about 15-45 minutes while the person rests. Acupuncture has been a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2000 years. Because of its time-honoured tradition, acupuncture along with other TCM modalities, are well known for their ability to treat a diverse number of health complaints, both mental and physical. Acupuncture is an effective, drug-free, non-invasive, safe alternative treatment for pain and other medical conditions. Subsequently, it has stood the test of time, helping millions of people worldwide.

During your Analysis consultation, Dr. Phillips will recommend a treatment plan based on their assessment. The course of treatment can vary from twice weekly sessions to weekly sessions for 6 weeks to several months, depending on the individual's needs and issues. Generally, after 30 minutes of treatment you should feel something working. The overall length of the treatment will depend on what medical problem is being treated and the type of acupuncture being used. As an example, people suffering from anxiety or stress will normally notice a difference after the first 1-4 sessions. For more chronic disorders such as chronic pain or infertility, treatments may take several months.

Acupuncture needles are very thin, and most people feel no pain or very little pain when they are inserted. At most, they may feel a little prick, similar to a mosquito bit. They often say they feel energized or relaxed after the treatment.

Yes, absolutely. Acupuncture may provide added pain relief - especially when used along with pain medicine or another therapy, such as massage. Acupuncture may also reduce the need for drugs and improve the quality of life of some people with chronic pain.

Because acupuncture rarely causes more than mild side effects, it is a potential alternative to pain medications or steroid treatments. It is also considered a "complementary" medicine that can be used along with other treatments. It is best to discuss the use of acupuncture with your health care provider.
